Nurse Gives Croc Shoes to Patient as a Helping Hand

Croc Nurses Shoes A Hero for A Patient
For all the ‘problems‘ that Crocs have been given from hospital administrators there are some good real life heroes coming from Croc nurses shoes in Florida recently.
An attending nurse gave the very shoes off her feet to help a newly released patient get home as comfortable as possible. The nurse who braved the rain said:
‘Getting into a car with a new knee is bad enough. Riding home from this hospital with wet feet is unacceptable.’
What a great way to go the extra mile!
Thanks to the News-Press for their coverage of this good deed.

More Croc Banning, Nurses Shoes Just Outlawed in Austria

Croc Nurses Shoes On The Out in Austria
On the heels of finding out about more of our US hospitals not taking kindly to the Croc rubber clogs a more recent decision was made to ban Crocs in all Vienna hospitals. Croc nurses shoes turn out to be as popular overseas as they do in the States.
Along with it, they pose the same hypothetical health risks to patient says the director of Vienna’s city hospitals:
“Technical evaluations have shown that they’re not antistatic and could interfere with the proper functioning of precision electronic equipment, or even cause explosions”.
They won’t be allowing any Crocs in op rooms, ICUs, radiology or dialysis departments where its required to where antistatic clothes. They are playing it very safe because they admit that this is a preventative measure and there have been no Croc related incidents.

Popular Nurses Shoes Come under Fire
The comfortable and easy to recognize Crocs have become a popular choice among nurses across the country. The many colors and styles to choose from makes it easy for nurses to customize their shoes to their taste within a small budget. But not all is well in Croc-land. Last year, one hospital in Pennsylvania decided to ban the popular rubber clogs due to “health risks”.
Hear what one nurse says about the croc ban in this NPR clip.
I think its as likely to have a health risk from the vents in crocs as it is a risk in scrubs! Any croc horror stories out there?
